Wet and windy at the County Ground - and no play possible between ⁦Northamptonshire CCC⁩ and ⁦Middlesex Cricket⁩ on Day 4. Thanks to ⁦Kevin P Hand⁩ for great company in the box. Look forward to ⁦Glamorgan Cricket 🏏⁩ - and the Dukes ball - on Friday #bbcsport

Rarely has a media lunch been more appropriate for the weather - excellent choice ⁦Northamptonshire CCC⁩ ⁦Cricket Nosh⁩

Looking forward to the Bonfire Night party later. It certainly feels like November at Wantage Road. Torrential rain, thunder and lightning on the drive in this morning. Day 4 between ⁦Northamptonshire CCC⁩ and ⁦Middlesex Cricket⁩ with me and ⁦Kevin P Hand⁩ #bbccricket

Kookaburra ball in April with strong men weeping and a pitch invasion when a ball passes the bat? To quote Prof Piehead, another partial success. But great to share comms with my old Strollers team mate Ian Salisbury - and yes he does remember my dropped catch at Stoke Bruerne.

A lot of hard yakka for the Northamptonshire bowlers today. Interesting take on the Kookaburra ball by IDK Salisbury on commentary, but it was dry old stuff for the spectator.

‘Here on a Sunday morning…the coloured counties’ looking delectable. Commentary on ⁦Northamptonshire CCC⁩ versus ⁦Middlesex Cricket⁩ today from statted out Andrew Radd (happy birthday ⁦Emilio Gay⁩) coned out ⁦Kevin P Hand⁩ and ⁦Machel St Patrick Hewitt⁩ #bbccricket

So - at last, Peter Willey and David Willey have company. The first father and son to score first-class centuries for Northamptonshire CCC. Now they're joined by David and James Sales. A family affair x2. #bbccricket BBC Northampton

Big performances for Northamptonshire CCC always worth celebrating but so much more so when they come from 'our own.' Congrats to Emilio Gay on his 261, the 12th-highest f-c score for the club; to James Sales on his maiden ton; and to Raphy Weatherall for an 8th-ball 1st wicket.

Two more Northamptonshire CCC notables lose a line in the record book today - Emilio Gay and James Sales add 181 for the 5th wicket, another County record against Middlesex Cricket. Previously 131 between Nigel Felton and David Capel at Lord's in 1989. #bbccricket

Wonderful from ⁦Emilio Gay⁩ - a maiden double hundred for ⁦Northamptonshire CCC⁩. First for the County since 2016 and first ever for the County against ⁦Middlesex Cricket⁩ #bbccricket

Following yesterday’s on-air Shakespearean conversation - ⁦Kevin P Hand⁩ ⁦Matthew Green⁩ and myself will be like greyhounds in the slips (if there are any with the Kookaburra ball) for ⁦Northamptonshire CCC⁩ and ⁦Middlesex Cricket⁩ from 11. ⁦BBC Sport⁩

Two distinguished former Northamptonshire CCC captains eclipsed as the 179-run stand between Pedro and Alex Wakely in 2010 is exceeded by Emilio Gay and Luke Procter to set a new second-wicket county record against Middlesex Cricket.

Don’t expect this level of photographic excellence every day. Back in harness at Wantage Road for ⁦Northamptonshire CCC⁩ versus ⁦Middlesex Cricket⁩ - every day of every match live on ⁦BBC Sport⁩ with myself and ⁦Kevin P Hand⁩ on comms today #bbccricket

By happy coincidence, publication of my book on Northamptonshire CCC captains for Pitch Publishing 📚 Sports Books - 'Faces on a Wall' - is scheduled for the birthday of current red-ball skipper vvs on June 24, a few days after the 70th birthday of Allan Lamb who kindly wrote the foreword!

We at BBC Northampton should do something special when Northamptonshire CCC play Glamorgan Cricket 🏏 at Wantage Road starting on April 19. It'll be the 1,107th first-class match there - 'Just like heaven on 11-0-7' as the jingle had it. Only 7 grounds in the world have staged more f-c games.

Earth has not anything to show more fair, does it? Milton Road - home of ⁦Oundle Town CC⁩ - never fails to delight. First visit of 2024 with ⁦Ollie Radd⁩ ⁦NCL⁩

Thanks Peter - both Adrian Harms and I are passionate about our respective counties Sussex Cricket and Northamptonshire CCC but we’re there to describe a cricket match not be cheerleaders! It was enthralling stuff and we’re glad you enjoyed listening. #bbccricket
